It was disproved by the discovery of the electrons
Answer:
about 79% (79.04369332 to be exact)
Explanation:
Percent composition=(Molar mass of element x amount of it)/Molar mass of compound x 100
Br= 3 x 79.9/303.25 x100=79.04369332
In general, The more valence electrons a metal has, the stronger its metallic bonds will be because Boron is a metalloid and is ionically bonded.it is too electronegative to release its valence electrons for metallic bonding.As a result, their valence electrons feel a stronger pull from the nucleus (a greater effective nuclear charge) and are less easily released for metallic bonding.
